      In virt-manager make sure you're using a spice connection, that
      the usb-controller
      

      model is set to "Usb 2" and then add a number of USB Redirection
      devices, (up to 4,
      

      having more then 1 allows you to redirect more then 1 USB device
      simultaneously).
    
    Until now I didn't realize how important this bit of advice really
    was! I use virt-manager to manage my KVM guests and had added the
    USB controller as "default". The only alternative was "USB 2". I
    expected that both were the doing the same. This is not the case
    however. As soon as I changed the USB controller of the guest from
    "default" to "USB 2", USB redirection started to work (this is with
    a Windows 7 guest).

    
    Perhaps the default for the USB controller in virt-manager should be
    changed from "default" to "USB 2"? Hmmm... :-)

    
    -Han
